#44764: coreutils 8.23_0 failed to upgrade -------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: jschnide@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.99 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: coreutils | -------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by braumann@…): In my macports.conf on my old 10.5.8. PPC I found this definition line not commented out: {{{ # Set the user to run MacPorts compiles, etc as when privileges are dropped during an install macportsuser root }}} After simply putting a leading # here like {{{ #macportsuser root }}} I cleaned {{{ sudo port clean coreutils }}} and called again {{{ sudo port upgrade coreutils }}} by this doing a smooth upgrade. However, I have a {{{macports}}} installation since more than five years and I never ever had to manually touch the {{{macports.conf}}} before. So I have no idea why this line was previously not commented out, and I also have no idea about possible side effects which may arise from my manipulation. I also need to say that on a much more recent {{{macports}}} installation on a 10.6.8 i386 initially made in 2013 this line was commented out, so no problems had occurred during the upgrade of {{{coreutils}}} to version 8.23_0. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44764#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
